I normally just use warm water with nothing in, best to keep on top of them thought cause they're hard to clean once they're dirty. Would appreciate it if anyone had any other better ideas cause some of mine won't clean up like new.

I use "big industrial wipes" made by sycamore ltd and seem to work ok. They clean most things very well, even brake dust and oils/greases.

Soapy water is best...... if you use any type of oil based product it does not do the silicone any good and will eventully seep inside and start to discolour!
WD might look good at first but in time it does not look good.

I've never been a fan of cleaning parts with oil based substances cos it leaves an oily film over everything, the tar and glue remover leaves feeling sort of sticky clean like when they are new
